Malema was launching the EFF’s campaign for the nationwide provision of quality public healthcare outside Soweto’s Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital on Wednesday.

Referring to Ramaphosa, Malema said: “Your salary could be used to improve conditions at Bara Hospital.

“Stop getting a salary. Let that salary be used to improve Bara.

"It is the biggest hospital but it has degenerated. Cyril’s house in Cape Town which he bought with his own money is more beautiful than a children’s ward at Bara,” Malema said.

The EFF has vowed to "expose” all health facilities including “white medical doctors” in the country who are allegedly ill-treating black patients, especially the aged.

Prior to Malema’s address, Lerato Madumo-Gova - a nurse at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and president of Young Nurses Indaba - painted a bleak picture of the working conditions at the hospital, including the alleged refusal by the Gauteng Health Department to employ more nurses.
